Partnership Adopts New Name and Mission
The Portland Partnership has changed its name to the Portland Education Partnership. The new name reflects the nonprofit group’s revised mission: to enrich student learning and build support for the Portland Public Schools by promoting opportunities for parent, business and community involvement.
“We wanted our name to represent intuitively what we do,” said Susan L. Steele, the Partnership’s director. “Simply adding the word ‘education’ makes the difference. The Partnership’s board also reviewed our mission. The new mission sharpens our focus on learning yet continues to promote community involvement with our students.”
